The Beatles as Bullet-Hell?

The Beatles: Rock Band is so two weeks ago. Who cares about playing music when you can drag a head around a screen and dodge rhythm-based notes of destruction?

This is Norwegian Wood. You play as the disembodied head of the Beatle of your choice. It's not a true shoot-em-up, but it does incorporate the blinding pattern recognition that any bullet-hell fan will tell you is key.

A bit of a warning -- Norwegian Wood is as addictive, if not more so, than Audiosurf. [via Offworld]

Hey Jordan, What are you having trouble with? Should be as simple as unzipping the archive and dragging your mp3 onto 'Norwegian Wood.exe' Have fun! :)

I did all that, but the game never opens. The word file "Norwegian Wood" says something about no module name kernal. Wtf? Lol.

Ok, in the Norwegian Wood text document it says
Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 12, in File "resources.pyc", line 151, in copy_file File "shutil.pyc", line 47, in copyfile IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:\Users\Keller\Documents\Jordan\Games\NorwegianWood\resources\music.mp3'
Any techies know what the problem is? Thanks in advance.

What version of Windows are you running? A fix for your problem could be to put your mp3 directly in the resources folder. Let me know if that works! :)

I'm running it on Windows Vista. I put the MP3 in the Library folder, and it started to open, but it errored again and told me to look at that file. Inside it says:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 14, in File "game.pyc", line 75, in __init__ File "resources.pyc", line 37, in load_resources File "resources.pyc", line 51, in _load_sprites File "graphics.pyc", line 107, in texture_from_file File "graphics.pyc", line 101, in texture_initializer pygame.error: Couldn't open C:\Users\Keller\Documents\Jordan\Games\NorwegianWood esources\sprites\map.png
